Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat
The Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) is the administrative branch of the Treasury Board of Canada (the committee of ministers responsible for the financial management of the federal government) and a central agency of the Government of Canada. The role of the Secretariat is to support the Treasury Board and to provide advice to Treasury Board members in the management and administration of the government.
The Treasury Board Secretariat is headed by the secretary of the Treasury Board, currently Peter Wallace, who is responsible to Parliament through the president of the Treasury Board, currently Anita Anand.
Function
The TBS assists the Treasury Board, which functions as the government's management committee by overseeing the operations of the federal government as a whole and serving as the principal employer of the core public administration. The TBS is also responsible for supporting the Treasury Board in its comptrollership role, providing oversight of the financial management functions in departments and agencies.
TBS offices are located primarily at 90 Elgin Street, Ottawa, Ontario, though there are several smaller offices elsewhere in Ottawa/Gatineau, as well as regional offices throughout Canada.
